One of the key activities that brought me to LYRASIS many months ago is going to see the light of day in about 10 days at ALA Midwinter — a set of tools to help libraries determine if open source software is right for them and what open source software works the best. Here is the announcement snippet from today’s LYRASIS newsletter:

FREE Open Source Sessions at ALA Midwinter: Take Control of Your Library’s Software

Is your library thinking about jumping into open source software, but not sure if you have the tools in place to succeed, or where to start?

There is an announcement on the OLE Project site that links to the final report as submitted to the Mellon Foundation. This version of the report has minor corrections in the text and now includes information about the group of libraries that have committed to the build phase of the project. Those libraries are:

Indiana University (lead)

Florida Consortium (University of Florida, Florida International University, Florida State University, New College of Florida, Rollins College, University of Central Florida, University of Miami, University of South Florida, and the Florida Center for Library Automation)

Lehigh University

Triangle Research Libraries Network (Duke University and North Carolina State University participating)

This is a preview of OLE Project Design Phase Final Report. Read the full post (155 words, 37 seconds estimated reading time)
